My Father Secretly Got Our Housemaid Pregnant — I Found Out When She Gave Birth to a Baby That Looks Like Me

I always thought our housemaid, Esther, was just quiet and respectful — the kind that avoids trouble. She had been living with us for three years, and my dad treated her like a daughter… or so I thought.

One night, I walked into the kitchen to grab water and saw my dad adjusting his trousers. Esther looked uncomfortable, but she quickly covered herself with her wrapper and walked away without saying a word.

I kept that image in my mind.

Months later, Esther disappeared for about two weeks. My mum thought she had traveled to the village. When she returned, she came back with a baby — claiming it was her cousin’s child she was helping to raise.

But something felt off.

The baby had a birthmark on the same spot as mine. Same complexion. Same round face. Same dimple. Even my mum jokingly said, “This child looks like he belongs to our family.”

I took the baby’s picture and ran a free online DNA resemblance scan — it showed a 98% sibling match.

I was shocked. I confronted my dad privately, and he broke down.

“It was a mistake,” he said.
A mistake that destroyed my mum, humiliated our family, and broke me.

Now, Esther is still in our house, breastfeeding my half-brother. My mother cries herself to sleep. And me? I’m still trying to forgive a man I once called my hero.
